Fortnite's cross-platform playability has made it one of the best Battle Royale games in the world. The developers' vision to unite players across different platforms and enable them to play together is very pronounced in the in-built options and functions of the game.

Players can use the same Fortnite account across different consoles. They don't need to create individual accounts for every console/machine they play on. However, there is a caveat. Players need to link each of their console accounts to their Epic Games account to enable cross-platform usage.

This impressive feature enables players from all across the globe to come together and team up. There is no need for any additional unified system to enable cross-platform multiplayer in Fortnite, and players on a particular console can either play with or against players on a different console.

Players can access and play Fortnite with a single Epic Games account across all the platforms where it is offered. This feature enables players to access their repository of cosmetic items and maintain their in-game progress. Epic's centralized account feature helps players access their gaming account from a plethora of consoles and platforms.

However, to use this feature, players need to link their console accounts to their Epic Games account. This can be done by following these easy steps:

Once players have linked their Epic account to the desired console account, they can enjoy Fortnite on their console. Players will be able to access all of their cosmetics and in-game progress. This mobility option is a boon to players who like to switch between consoles. However, certain consoles like the Nintendo Switch have their limitations and offer native options.

With the advent of decentralized gaming and services like Xbox Cloud Gaming, this multi-platform playability has certainly helped Fortnite retain players. However, players should note that they can't access a single account across different platforms simultaneously.

Epic Games also provides a feature for players to either enable or disable crossplay. Players across consoles like PlayStation and Xbox can party together if they want. However, PC players can't disable this feature.
